Krakow News 2 April 2016: municipal police and ‘hejnał’ / “Modern” hand out constitution / Protest against new abortion law

A different kind of ‘hejnał’

Today a municipal police officer played the ‘hejnał’ anthem from the tower near the St. Mary’s Basilica. This change of tradition was to mark the 25th anniversary of the municipal police in Krakow. Łukasz Hałaszuk played the tune from the tower, who has been with the municipal police for a few years now. [Radio Krakow]
